We’d also like to extend a friendly reminder to all those wonderful family and friends who will be travelling to State Championships to support this weekend that there is a specific Traffic Management protocol in place, which includes where you can park your vehicles.

Please adhere to this document as best as possible, and be mindful of the local residents living nearby the court, whilst also allowing for plenty of time arriving and departing the area.

Held annually across the June Long Weekend, the 2015 tournament will be contested in nine age-divisions: Open Championships and Open Division Two; 21 & Under Championship; 17 & Under Championship, Division Two and Division 3; and Masters Division – Over 35, Over 40 and Over 45.

The title of State Champions isn’t the only trophy up for grabs when the competition wraps up at Illawarra. Introduced in 2009, the Pat Weston OAM Country Champions Cup is named in honour of Netball NSW and Parramatta Auburn Life Member Pat Weston OAM and awarded to the highest placed regional Association (outside Sydney Metro) in the Open Championship Division.

Netball NSW would like to thank our Major Partners of the 2015 State Championships; The Athlete’s Foot, The Australian College of Physical Education (ACPE), BBX and Coast2Coast.
